Family Pomacentridae

Fish in Pomacentridae Perciform fish (perch-like) Includes damselfishes and clownfishes

About the name Poma (Greek)-means cover. In reference to the fishes’ opercula. Centri-derived from the Greek word kentron, which means sting. This refers to the serrations along the margins of the opercula of the fishes.

Cool stuff This family is known for being territorial The males engage in mating displays by bursts of motion, hovering, fin extensions and fin beats. If the female is attracted then she will lay her eggs in his nest to be fertilized by the male externally—through the water.

Sergeant Major (Abudefduf saxatilis) DISTINCTIVE FEATURES: 1.Five black body bars. 2.Upper lip does not overhang lower lip. Named Sergeant Major because of the stripes which are reminiscent of the insignia.

Information Feed on the larvae of invertebrates, zooplankton, smaller fish, crustaceans and algae. Eaten by groupers, basses and wrasses. Usually about 6 inches in length

Interesting facts: At Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, this species feeds on spinner dolphins’ feces and vomits. Also, juveniles may hold cleaning stations together with the doctorfish and the blue tang and graze algae as well as pick molted skin and parasites from green turtles.
